2 Problems with what I am doing right now

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I am working on a survival plate based game (inspired by horrific housing and Plates of fate) and I found a tutorial that helps me with finding a script. I have 2 issues with this script. The first one is that the status.value isn’t updating the status gui. The second issue is that it highlighted in red the for i, v in pairs (Folder:GetChildren()) do. I am providing both the tutorial and the script. If you need anything else to help please contact. Thanks! (p.s. ignore the fact the spaces are off and its the code didnt merge into one the devforum fonting thingy isnt rlly working well.

local GameData = game.ReplicatedStorage.GameData
local Assets = game.ServerStorage.Assets
local Pillars = game.Workspace.Pillars

local Status = GameData.Status

local Settings = {
Intermission = 10,
PlayersNeeded = 1,
TimeBetweenEvents = 5,
RoundInProgress = GameData.RoundinProgress.Value
}

local function CalculatePlayers()
local NumberOfPlayers = game.Players:GetPlayers()
return NumberOfPlayers
end

while wait() do
if CalculatePlayers() >= Settings.PlayersNeeded then
for i,v in pairs(Folder:GetChildren()) do
if v then
v:Destroy()
end
end
local PlayersInGame = {}
– The game actually starts –
for i = Settings.Intermission, 1, -1 do
Status.Value = "Intermission - "…i
wait(1)
end
Status.Value = “Game is getting ready to begin”

  wait(5)

	local Plates = Assets.Plates:Clone()
	Plates.Parent = game.Workspace.Pillars

	for keyvalue, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		if player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			if player.Charracter.Humanoid.Health >= 1 then
				table.insert(PlayersInGame, keyvalue, player)
				for i,v in pairs(Plates:GetChildren()) do
					if v.Settings.OwnerOfPlace == "None"	and not player.Character:FindFirstChild("") then
						v.Settings.OwnerOfPlate.Value =  player.Name
						player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = v.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 2, 0)
						local PlateValue = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
						PlateValue.Parent = player.Character
						PlateValue.Value = v
						PlateValue.Name = "PlateValue"
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end

	for i, v in pairs(Plates:GetChildren()) do
		if v.Settings.OwnerOfPlates.Value == "None" then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
else
	-- The game doesn't have enough players--
	Status.Value = "Need more players to begin"
end

end

Greetings!

You are stating that the string value isnt updating the gui, but in the scripts provided, it doesnt seem like youre trying to do so. i also advice going through the script syntax, as i’ve spotted some errors that may cause problems later on.

Cheers!

Hey!

I thought so to. Then I remembered under the gui I put a local script which does connect it.

local TextLabel = script.Parent
local Status = game.ReplicatedStorage.GameData.Status

TextLabel.Text = Status.Value

Status.Changed:Connect (function()
TextLabel.Text = Status.Value
end)
